Chapter 82: Tactical Hidden Dangers

Escaping from this battlefield is Mikasa's only thought at the moment, as the commander of this attack, once Mikasa and once he leaves his subordinates to escape alone, he will also be waiting for him to apologize after he returns, but Mikasa and now he doesn't care about it so much, his only thought is to escape from here immediately. Mikasa is not afraid of death, almost all the people who have been in the Japanese naval aviation unit are fanatical militarists, especially Mikasa, who is still a Nakasa, and the reason why he wants to escape is just to bring back today's events and tell his superiors to know.

The information obtained by the people of the special high school was too one-sided, and they did not know the actual strength of the Thunder, especially the number of Thunder's fighters, and in just ten minutes of fighting, Mikasa and the P40 fighters he saw were no less than 50. With a Shina aviation unit of this size, Mikasa and only encountered it during the Battle of Songhu, but the Thunder fighters he fought with today were different from those of the previous China pilots, and their flying techniques and tactics were more proficient and more insidious, so Mikasa and tried to go back and be punished to bring back today's situation.

With the help of his companions, Mikasa and his wingman quickly left the battlefield and fled eastward, "Fool, do you really think you can escape?" Mike, who was flying in mid-air, looked at the Japanese fighters fleeing for their lives, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes. From the radar station, it was discovered that there were enemy planes coming to the Qinglongping Airport, and from the beginning of the emergency response at the airport, a radius of 50 miles from the Qinglongping Airport as the center had already been surrounded by the thunderous fighter troops, and the P40 was the main combat strength and the Japanese fighters were entangled, and the ground anti-aircraft fire was the auxiliary firepower, and those fighters who had just come from Xi'an were guarding the periphery of the battlefield, not to mention that only a few Japanese fighters escaped, or that there were twice as many Japanese fighters as if they wanted to escape from the battlefield, and it was impossible.

Mikasa and them were not running fast, but the Thunder fighter force that surrounded them was also fast, and more than 20 "Hurricane" fighters from Britain pulled a loose interception formation to block Mikasa and their way. It's useless for the Hurricane fighter to put on such a loose formation, the speed of the hurricane is fast enough, but it is easy to collide with its wingman when it turns, so after getting this kind of flawed fighter, Meghan came up with such a loose formation, anyway, it is just to intercept the scattered Japanese fighters that have fled, and it is the same to win by the number of fighters.

The 40mm cannon equipped with the hurricane fighter kept spitting a rain of bullets, and successfully forced Mikasa and them back to the battlefield with a dense barrage, and by the way, Mikasa's wingman was also killed, and Mikasa, who was still smoking from the airplane fuselage, began to despair. Looking at this posture, the people of China will not allow their group to leave here alive, a trace of coldness flashed in Mikasa's eyes, and then he increased the throttle and gritted his teeth and rushed towards the P40 that was blocking him, even if he died, he would also pull a cushion.

"Let's get on it, let's take down all these Japanese monkeys" Mike's voice trembled a little in the headphones, and those who knew him well would never think that he was scared, this was the excited reaction of the bloodthirsty people when they were about to fight, and many guys in the fighter unit had this reaction. After the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground continuously released strong firepower, the fighter units sent by the Japanese army had already suffered heavy casualties, and after the encirclement and interception of the P40 and Hurricane fighters, only 40 percent of the 100 fighters of the Japanese fighter unit were left at this time, and these 40 percent of the fighters were not out of danger.

As soon as Mike's order came out, all the Thunder fighter pilots widened their eyes, let out a joyful roar from their mouths, and rushed at the Japanese fighters with full throttle. The air battle was so fierce that the Qinglongping Airport, which was completely covered by camouflage nets, was silent, and the commander-in-chief of the fighter unit, Mason, had been paying attention to the air battle scene with a telescope, and his mouth had been tightly pursed to show the worry in his heart. Air battles with more than 200 fighter planes are rare even in the European theater, and the Thunder fighter unit has only fought with the Japanese army in Chongqing since it was formed.

Zhao Zhi and Luo Lin didn't have much to worry about, there were still dozens of fighters on the Xi'an side that had not come, and the number of fighters on the Qinglongping side had an advantage, even if it was a one-to-one casualty, Zhao Zhi could still bear the strength, not to mention that in terms of the current battle situation, it was simply the side that occupied the dominant position on the battlefield. "Mason, can you not walk around all the time, sit down first, you are such a big man dangling here, shaking my eyes dizzy" Although Zhao Zhi was not very worried, Mason was always restless in the bunker, which made Zhao Zhi very irritable.

Rowling patted Zhao Zhi strangely, and said to Mason with a smile, "Mason, don't pay attention to him, do whatever you have to do, just as if he doesn't exist" Interlaced like a mountain, Mason is a strange guy who can't live without a plane, and it is difficult for a person like Zhao Zhi who doesn't know anything about airplanes to understand Mason. As the commander-in-chief of the fighter unit, the pressure on Mason's shoulders will not be less than the pressure on Zhao Zhi, the fighter unit naturally has its own charter, and Zhao Zhi's nonsense will only disturb Mason's thoughts and will not help the battle situation.

Mason is really a weird guy, and before Rowling finished speaking, he turned around and rolled his eyes at Zhao Zhi fiercely, and his mouth, which had been closed, moved silently a few times. Rowling didn't care what Zhao Zhi was thinking, she covered her mouth and smiled, until she fell into Zhao Zhi's arms, and couldn't stop laughing. "Mason, you're bad at learning now," Rowling pointed at a serious Mason with her good-looking fingers, and counted him down a little slyly.

Zhao Zhi didn't see Mason's movements, but Rowling kept laughing, and even a fool guessed that these two were playing tricks. Because of his identity, Zhao Zhi had a seizure on the spot, so he secretly twisted it on Rowling's ass. Originally, Rowling had already held back her laughter, but when she was about to sit up straight, she was suddenly attacked by Zhao Zhi, and the forced laughter suddenly broke out again, and this time Rowling laughed almost to the point of shock.

The underground bunker is not big, only Zhao Zhi and his wife, Mason, and a few personal guards of mercenaries, Zhao Zhi and Rowling are in trouble, and the other people in the bunker are not good at saying anything, so they can only turn around and look around and pretend to be very busy. Mason, a guy who loves to fly like a life, is most annoyed by being disturbed by others when he is thinking, but the battle outside is not over yet, and he can't blast Zhao Zhi and Rowling out, so he has to think of a topic to divert everyone's attention.

"Boss, I need your authorization, I hope that after this battle, the fighter unit will be adjusted immediately, otherwise our flight team will have a lot of trouble in the future" Mason could be described as speechless, and his mouth attracted Zhao Zhi's attention. The fighter unit is now Zhao Zhi's greatest reliance, in the lack of high-power lethal weapons, Zhao Zhi only put the hope of winning the war on the fighter unit, now listening to Mason's words, Zhao Zhi's first reaction is not that Mason is alarmist, but is considering what Mason means by trouble.

"I've been paying attention to the battle process, the Japanese air force only sent more than 100 fighters this time, their bomber group has more than 30, and we have as many as 60 fighters in the P40 alone, which is already equal to the number of fighters escorted by the Japanese army. Our fighters from Xi'an are not only P40s, but also British Hurricane fighters, in terms of the number of fighters participating in the war, our fighters and the Japanese army are three to one, but you can also see, it has been almost an hour, and these boys in the flight team have not cleaned up the 60 fighters of the Japanese army."

"So you mean there's something wrong with the tactics and tactics of our flying team?" Zhao Zhi heard the subtext in Mason's words, and couldn't help but glance at Mason. Among the Europeans he knows, they have always been straightforward in their speech, and it's rare to see a guy like Mason who likes to beat around the bush.

"Yes" Mason ignored the roll of Zhao Zhi's eyes, and just continued Zhao Zhi's words with his own thoughts, "Our young men are all from European countries, and their different cultures and atmospheres have doomed them to have different ways of thinking. And I've read their information, most of these little guys you recruited have served in the American, British, and French armies, and as far as I know, each country's military has different flying skills and tactical tactics."

Mason paced a few steps in place and continued, "It is not difficult to see from today's battle that the quality of the Japanese air force is not weak, and our fighters still occupy the dominant position on the battlefield, and that is because the number of fighters we have lifted into the air is twice as large as theirs. If we want to give full play to the maximum combat power of our fighters in air combat, tactics and formation are very important links, and if our fighter units do not have a unified tactic, and then they are so messily crowded together with the Japanese army, then we will eventually lose one day."

"Mason, when I recruited you from the United States to come to China, I once told you that all the fighters in my hands will be handed over to you for control, you are the supreme commander of the Thunder Fighter Force, you are only responsible for me, you have the right to make adjustments to the tactics of the fighter unit, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing in the future, you can make up your own mind" Zhao Zhi patted Mason's shoulder encouragingly, and took out a cigar and threw one to Mason.
